40/52 - Cake, School Bus, Gummies
After making/carving Anders's birthday cake, we had some leftover cake pieces and excess frosting that we had put aside for later. We decided to give Anders a chance to do some cake decorating on his own.
Nice job, Anders! Tasted delicious.
Here is a "day in the life" at the school bus stop.
In the morning, the whole family walks down the driveway to meet the bus.
In the afternoon, Corinne and I walk back down to meet him when he gets off the bus.
He says hi (sometimes) then walks past us toward the house. Rarely is he wearing his coat/sweatshirt from the morning. Thankfully, it is usually in his backpack (and not in the lost-and-found at school).
Most of the time, he runs away from us toward the house. He finds this hilarious. (Us, less so.)
On rare occasions, we manage to convince him to walk with us.
On days when we join him for lunch at the school, we get a glimpse of his lunch routine. On one of these days, we discovered his favorite concoction from the salad bar:
Peas, olives, cheddar cheese, and peaches
Nutritionally speaking, it's not too bad. The flavor profile, however, ... well, as long as he likes it.
For his birthday, Anders received a small RC quad-coptor from Grandpa Reidar. Anders calls it the "Extreme F-Two-Two".
Another item on Anders's birthday wish list was a kit to make gummies. Rather than buy a pre-made kit (with its paltry and overpriced collection of ingredients), Corinne found gummy-making instructions and made her own kit. It doesn't take much more than flavored gelatin, corn syrup, and some silicone molds.
...and voila! Who doesn't love gummy LEGO minifigs?
- Mike, Corinne, and Anders
